Algorithms for Optimization, Second Edition - by Mykel J Kochenderfer & Tim A Wheeler (Hardcover)

Product Description

Book Synopsis A comprehensive, practical introduction to optimization updated with new chapters on duality, quadratic programming, and disciplined convex programming. The extensively updated second edition of this popular textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to optimization with a focus on practical algorithms. Mykel Kochenderfer and Tim Wheeler approach optimization from an engineering perspective, where the objective is to design a system that optimizes a set of metrics subject to constraints. Readers will learn about computational approaches for a range of challenges, including searching high-dimensional spaces, handling problems where there are multiple competing objectives, a…
